I'm already seeing articles on how to disable it. It's not in the current batch of windows machines on sale, but it will be, soon.
I still can't fathom what the flying fuck Microsoft is thinking, though. I know there's stupidity, but this has gone beyond casual and straight into S-tier professional stupidity.
Haven't had a chance to discuss stuff with my IT guys, but I wonder how that conversation is going to go, given all the sensitive information we deal with on a regular basis.
I guess Microsoft has calculated that the cries of "I'll switch to Linux" will be a small percentage of their userbase, companies will still stick to Windows for desktop usage and that Mac OS will either implement a similar feature or will also have people not adopt it in large numbers.
My concern is that Governments are in bed with Microsoft (to the point that organisations are switching from Google Chrome to Microsoft Edge) and they will be rolling out this update on computers that have confidential personal data that could be easily compromised. We may switch to Linux but they most certainly won't.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature
